Bryson...I would like to add this to all the previous posts . There is not much difference in price between some production holsters and most custom leather . The main difference is quality .
The H&K USP line is not problematic to holster like the P7 family. However , I would strongly recommend Lou Alessi , Josh Bulman , Matt Del Fatti , Milt Sparks , Ken Null , Tucker Gunleather , and Gary Brommeland as a few of the best . You will not go wrong with any of these makers . I have leather from all of them and it's top notch . I think Rosen's stuff is overpriced . FIST is second rate and has a poor customer service attitude . I am waiting for my first order from Rafters , and I am not familiar with Andrews .
In general I don't care for Kydex , although I admit it's practical . If you were to ask me, who is the BEST holstermaker at a value price, I wouldn't hesitate to say Lou Alessi . His CQC-S and DOJ holsters in OWBs , and his PCH in an IWB are the pinnacle of the art of holstermaking , at a price on a par with Galco . He is the great innovator making holsters today , with his Talon clips, his pull through snaps , and the new arch based PCH holster that WILL NOT collapse even though it does not have a reinforced mouth .
Whomever you decide on as your holstermaker I urge you to get a good gunbelt at the same time . The performance of the holster , and your comfort and ability to use it will depend on a good belt . It is equally as important , possibly more so than the holster. Personally , I think Lou Alessi makes the best belts in the world , and they cannot be "made" as a gunbelt ...Tom
